Global hydrogen energy industry
Booming development with strong momentum
On June 11th, the 18th (2025) International Solar Photovoltaic and Smart Energy (Shanghai) Conference and Exhibition was grandly held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center.Trina Green Hydrogen , in collaboration with Trina Solar Energy and Tianhe Energy Storage, jointly exhibited and released three green hydrogen equipment to the world during this period, demonstrating the company's value creativity in the global hydrogen energy industry and leading the new era of global hydrogen energy
From the progress of global hydrogen energy projects, the development momentum is also very strong. According to the Hydrogen Insight report in the industry, the number of global hydrogen energy projects surged from 228 to 1572 between 2020 and May 2024, an increase of seven times; The investment received by projects in the final investment decision-making stage has increased from approximately $10 billion for 102 projects in 2020 to $75 billion for 434 projects in 2024.
Based on the judgment and reflection on the demand for hydrogen energy market,Trina Green Hydrogen will release MW level PEM hydrogen production equipment, 10MW alkaline hydrogen production equipment, and MW level container hydrogen production system to the world during this SNEC period. Three products are dedicated to the key iteration of hydrogen production technology, starting from equipment safety and system control, providing the most powerful products and solutions for global hydrogen energy users.
MW level PEM hydrogen production equipment
Innovative catalyst reduces equipment investment by 20%
Safe, reliable, superior performance, and controllable cost are the core demands of users in the current PEM electrolysis cell market. The MW level PEM hydrogen production equipment launched by Trina Green Hydrogen is the result of cooperation and research with Shanhai Hydrogen (Shanghai) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanhai Hydrogen") established by the research team of Fudan University.
At the exhibition site, the newly produced 250Nm ³/h product has attracted widespread attention. The PEM series hydrogen production equipment adopts the new generation PEM membrane electrode material from Shanhai Hydrogen. A comprehensive and detailed reliability analysis was conducted on the selection of components, strict selection of sealing materials, optimization of sealing design, combined with multi-scale simulation and experimental verification, to ensure that the total leakage of the electrolytic cell is ≤ 0.14%/h under a high cathode pressure of 3MPa. The new membrane electrode adopts an anti leakage design, and the hydrogen concentration in oxygen is less than 600ppm in the full power range, firmly guarding the system's safety defense line. The maximum hydrogen production per tank is 300 Nm ³/h.
In terms of equipment cost and lifespan, the new generation catalyst technology reduces the amount of precious metal iridium by 80%, with a theoretical lifespan of over 15 years and a voltage decay rate of 1.3 μ V/h. Through calculations, the overall cost of the equipment can be reduced by 20%.
10MW alkaline hydrogen production equipment
Innovative structural design ensures equipment safety and stability
Among numerous hydrogen production technologies, alkaline electrolysis cells have become the mainstream equipment for green hydrogen production due to their mature technology and relatively low cost advantages. For industrial fields such as refining, chemical engineering, and metallurgy that require a large amount of hydrogen, large-scale alkaline electrolysis cells can significantly reduce the cost of green hydrogen, but there are technical challenges to the stability and flexibility of their equipment.
The 2000Nm ³/h alkaline electrolysis cell launched by Trina Green Hydrogen is based on Tianqing's second-generation technology. After two years of practical market validation, the Tianqing series 1000Nm ³/h alkaline electrolytic cell has obtained good operational data. On this basis, the 2000Nm ³/h product also uses high-performance electrode materials and adopts a tank structure with one positive and two negative, gas-liquid inlet and outlet, optimizing the internal flow field and thermal field. The current density reaches 4000A/㎡, and the DC energy consumption is less than 4.3kWh/Nm ³, reaching the international first-class energy efficiency level. By improving the end pressure plate structure, support structure, and sealing structure, the stability and safety of the electrolytic cell operation can be ensured. Compared to two 1000Nm ³/h electrolytic cells, it can save 30% of the floor space and 20% of the equipment investment.
MW level container hydrogen production system
Thousand square standard box integrated, safe, convenient and easy
Currently, countries around the world are deploying "hydrogen energy strategies" and establishing cooperation with regions with green hydrogen production advantages, striving to ensure their own energy supply security and accelerate the decarbonization process. Containerized hydrogen production equipment has become the best choice for overseas green hydrogen projects due to its lower transportation and delivery costs. However, standardized container design has characteristics such as limited space, difficult maintenance, and strong airtightness, which have led to a series of production safety issues.
Therefore, Tianhe Yuan Hydrogen has launched a MW level standard containerized hydrogen production system, with each hydrogen production unit capable of producing up to 1000Nm ³/h. Each hydrogen production unit includes a complete set of equipment such as an electrolytic cell, gas-liquid separation, purification device, distribution cabinet, control cabinet, rectifier cabinet, transformer, air compressor, nitrogen production system, circulating cooling water system, alkali/water replenishment system, etc. All equipment of a 1000 standard cubic meter hydrogen production unit is integrated into a standard container, maintaining size and weight limitations, which can shorten transportation time, cost, and delivery cycle by more than 50%, solving the problems of difficult transportation and expensive bulk shipping costs for oversized products.
Meanwhile, through modular design, rapid on-site assembly can be achieved, with containers connected by quick connect hoses, eliminating the need for on-site pipeline construction and solving the problems of poor construction conditions and difficulties. At the same time, half of the delivery and construction period can be saved. In addition, through the design of "suspended mountain top, sky and earth doors", the operation and maintenance space is expanded outward, solving the problem of small space inside the box, difficult maintenance and operation; Through the patented mortise and tenon structure and rapid splicing of the "suspended mountain top" container roof, it meets national standards and regulations, achieves lightweight and natural ventilation, eliminates gas accumulation space on the top of the container, and ensures the safety of the entire hydrogen production system.
Challenges and opportunities coexist
The future of hydrogen energy is promising for the world
Hydrogen winds sway for 30000 miles, and the world sails far into the ocean. Looking ahead, with the further reduction of renewable energy electricity prices and the continuous improvement of electrolytic cell efficiency, the cost of green hydrogen will have stronger competitiveness, triggering a huge demand for green hydrogen in fields such as chemical engineering and metallurgy. Hydrogen energy trade will reconstruct the world energy landscape and play an important role in the formulation of global new energy trade rules. Trina Green Hydrogen will continue to invest in research and development, continuously improving the performance, lifespan, and stability of its products, providing a continuous source of development power for the future world of hydrogen energy.
